Steps Forward: Geo-Tagging InitiativeGeo-tagging of tube-wells has been initiated in Mansehra and Charsadda districts as a part of the Water Resources Accountability Programme. This project is fortified by the backing of the UK’s Commonwealth Development Office and the CGIAR’s Nexus Gains Initiative[1].

Program Highlights:- Location Mapping and Tracking: Geo-tagging involves pinpointing the exact locations of tube-wells to enhance water resource management and accountability.- Strengthened Partnerships: The project thrives on international relations, bolstering its technical and financial capabilities to tackle water management challenges in KP[1].

In summary, the alliance between the Irrigation Department of KP and IWMI marks a strategic advancement towards efficient water management and addressing pressing environmental concerns in the region.
